Obituary in the London Times

Obituary printed in the London Times.....Absolutely
Dead Brilliant !!Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend,
Common Sense,who has been with us for many years. No one knows for
sure how old he was,since his birth records were long ago lost in
bureaucratic red tape. He willbe remembered as having cultivated such valuable
lessons as: - Knowing when to come in out of the rain; - Why the early bird gets the worm; - Life isn't always fair; - And maybe it was my fault.Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies
(don't spendmore than you can earn) and reliable strategies
(adults, not children, arein charge).His health began to deteriorate rapidly when
well-intentioned butoverbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of
a 6-year-old boycharged with sexual harassment for kissing a
classmate; teens suspended fromschool for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher
fired for reprimandingan unruly student, only worsenedhis condition. Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked
teachers for doingthe job that they themselves had failed to do in
disciplining their unrulychildren. He declined even further when schools were required
to get parentalconsent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a
student; but could notinform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an
abortion.Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals
received better treatment than their victims. Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in
your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a
woman failedto realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She
spilled a little inher lap, and was promptly awarded a huge
settlement. Common Sense was preceded in
death, -by his parents, Truth and Trust, -by his wife, Discretion, -by his daughter, Responsibility, -and by his son, Reason. He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers; - I Know My Rights - I Want It Now - Someone Else Is To Blame - I'm A Victim - Pay me for Doing Nothing Not many attended his funeral because so few
realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not,
join the majority and do nothing.

Domestic Abuse

It goes without saying no woman should suffer at the hands of a violent man. Physical violence is easy to spot, the cuts and bruises speak for themselves. However there are other kinds of abuse, mental, emotional and psychological which are just as damaging. I have been a victim of all kinds of abuse.All too many women suffer in silence even in these enlightened times because they think they can't get out of their situation.I have 'escaped' this hell twice, and have now written about my experiences in the form of a 'self help' book for other women who are going through similar circumstances and think they can't break free.Click on the image to be taken to the site.
